Welcome to the 4-H Mentoring Program Website.  4-H and AmeriCorps are working together to encourage youth and adults alike to establish positive relationships through planned mentoring.  By establishing these relationships we hope to provide today's youth with a greater sense of self-worth, empowerment, and direction.  The adults providing these services will move forward with this relationship knowing that they have made a difference in a child's life, while at the same time enriching their own.  Through 4-H's involvement both mentor and mentee will experience some of the programs and opportunities offered by 4-H.

Description:

This agency is a one-on-one, community based mentoring program focusing on court involved youth.  We are a small agency that offers personalized attention.  We are in regular contact with our mentors and offer many group activities for all mentors and mentees.  To become a volunteer, mentors have an extensive background check done, six hours of mentor training, and are committed to meeting with their youth for two hours a week over the course of one year.

Youth mentee and adult mentors have fun and learn by participating in activities such as:

• Service projects

• Fundraising for the program

• Going to the movies

• Roller and ice skating

• Going to the library

• Going to museums

• Doing craft activities

• Going to restaurants

• Playing sports and weight-lifting

• Going to plays and cultural events

• Going to nature trails and parks

Thank you for visiting and enjoy our site!
